Sherwood

Well who would have bleddy thought it? Today I got up early ish , it was already hot. I had a nom in my bed while TW gave me the rules of the day and then we were off in the box. An hour later, a bit sweaty after a few wobbles and a wrong turn we arrived. OMFG! I couldn't believe it. A big field thing, loads of trees and loads of horses and boxed and trailers. Amazing.

I fidgeted and ate grass and fidgeted some more. TW sponged me off and tacked me up and we went to meet some new chums, drum and Lottie and their riders. pleasure ride time!!

OMG it was amazing. I started off in the lead, down a road and into the trees. Follow the blue arrows. Down tracks and through the forest. Two grey horses overtook us and that was a bit stressful so TW said I could go at the bak for a bit. Some more horses overtook us during the ride and that didnt bother me at all. TW was pleased.

TW asked if we couldn't canter today. Then changed her mind. We had three lovely canters , excellent. Apart from when I went turbo for a wee minute. Oops. A naughty mare caught up with us and wanted to nibble my ass so I had a wee buck to keep her back. Excellent.

Towards the end I kept trying to tell TW that we needed to turn left but she said we had to keep following the arrows. Damn! I was right though, if we had gone my way it would have been quicker I'm sure. Overall we did 9 miles in the sweaty sun . I was still trotting at the end. TW was happy. I loved it. I even liked the being washed off and the bath back at the yard. Plus I got some polos and an apple. Amazing!
